Secular parties must unite at national level to defeat BJP: Siddaramaiah

Mysuru, Mar 5: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that national-level secular parties must join hands to defeat 'communal BJP'.

Speaking to reporters at the Mysuru airport on Monday, the CM said that the outcome of north-east Indian state elections, will have no impact on the upcoming polls in Karnataka.

"The reason for BJP's victory in north-east India is its pre-poll pacts with local parties," Siddaramaiah said dismissing reporters' questions summarily.

He expressed confidence that voters in Karnataka will not vote for BJP 'which is dividing society in the name of caste and religion'.

The BSP-JD(S) pre-poll pact is not a problem for the Congress. It will have no impact during the elections. "Our single aim is to defeat communal BJP," Siddaramaiah stressed.

He informed media people that he planned to go to Delhi on Tuesday in backdrop of the Rajya Sabha elections, where the candidate will be decided. "The Congress doesn't need the JD(S)'s help for this election," he said.

The CM revealed that industrialist and Bidar MLA Ashok Kheny will join Congress on Monday and none within the party has objected to his entry into the party. "I will not respond to guesses," he clarified.

Siddaramaiah also added that AICC President Rahul Gandhi will tour the Mysuru region and participate in campaigns from March 21-25. A massive convention of the party will be held in Mysuru on March 25.

Your so called secularism is time barred and ineffective. The question is why people should vote for you when you don't have any performance to show. Accusing BJP is an empty threat. You would be kicked out lock , stock and barrel. And then the doors of jails would welcome you like the fate of Lalu.

Mangaluru, May 13: Karnataka revised its standard operating procedure (SOP) for international passengers to allow pregnant women, children and senior citizens to entre home quarantine if they test negative for covid-19. 

The development comes after former minister and Mangaluru MLA U T Khader urged the government to follow the Kerala model in handling the repatriates and take extra care of pregnant women and senior citizens at Mangaluru and Bengaluru Airports.

Passengers will be initially dived into two categories. Category A includes passengers symptomatic on arrival while Category B passengers are those asymptomatic on arrival. 

While category A passengers will be directly shifted to covid-19 hospital, category B passengers will be sent to 14-day institutional quarantine.

If there are pregnant women, children below 10 years of age and senior citizens in category B, they will remain in institutional quarantine until they obtain a negative report (after throat swab testing for covid-19). It may take one or two days to get the throat swab testing report.
